How Long Will the Chicken Salad Last in the Fridge?

This chicken salad will keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Just give it a stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.

Can I Use Regular Yogurt Instead of Greek Yogurt?

Yes, you can, but Greek yogurt tends to be thicker and creamier, which works best for this recipe. If you use regular yogurt, you may want to strain it through cheesecloth to remove excess moisture.
